XP Home key on XP Pro CD

I was given a computer w/ a valid XP Home License. I don't have the original XP cd, but i do have a Pro cd. Is there a way to install XP Home w/ the Pro CD, using the Home key? I don't want anything i'm not licensed for; i just don't have the original media.

I did notice there is 850 megs of an i386 file on the c:\. I wonder if this has all of the setup files to reinstall. The product key is on a sticker on the bottom, and ownership of the computer has been transfered.

you could build you a slipstreamed cd using that i386 folder and use it to reformat and reinstall....google for how to slipstream xp and you find there are quite a few detailed sites dedicated to doing just that.
